Do you want colours, joy, freshness and quality? Let’s go to St. Lawrence Market

St. Lawrence Market is a Toronto landmark and is the largest indoor market in the city. It absolutely deserves a post in my blog. This beautiful Victorian building is located between Jarvis and Front streets. I love this place because things here are very cheap, good and healthy. Well, not everything is healthy… for example the peameal bacon sandwich is a bomb of calories! You can find it at the Carousel Bakery that has become a go-to place in Toronto for many tourists and celebrities who want to try this internationally recognized Canadian specialty. However, you can also find fruits, veggies, eggs and honey that are made here in Ontario. It’s my regular weekend stop even if it’s always very crowded. I usually go there on Saturday mornings on foot. It takes me between 30 and 45 minutes. Since I always buy lots of things I take the subway on my way back… Even if I remember that once I came back home walking and it was 42 degrees!!! There are two buildings, one in front of the other. In the North Market you can find the local farmers who bring their wares into the city. There are also the Mennonites. There’s a reason if the National Geographic has ranked Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market as the world’s best food market. You can also have lunch there and taste some yummy samples. I usually buy fruit, vegetables (cherry tomatoes are delicious), prosciutto crudo di Parma (imported of course), Italian cacciatore (salami), cheese (stracchino and mozzarella, and there is also the burrata that is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream), fresh fish and the necessary to make sushi. …. No offense for St. Lawrence Market but Italian products are the best in the world 🙂 I’ll miss this place anyway!
